INTERNAL VACANCY
We’re looking for a dynamic, super-organised communicator to join our team.
The successful candidate will be able to work to communications strategies and to deliver their objectives for this fast-moving unitary authority.
You’ll need to know how to target and grab the attention of the right audiences with the right content in order to share important information or to inspire action.
Your bright ideas and energy will mean you can learn fast, work accurately and to deadline.
- Working with teams across the council and partners across the city, we know that you love the interest and pace.
- You’ll be part of a busy and supportive team which will encourage and further your can-do attitude and your flair for comms.
- You’ll build on our strong relationships with other organisations to maximise the reach and impact of our messaging. You’ll also work with contractors to ensure our exacting standards are met.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We expect a high level of written English and, ideally, we’d like applicants to have relevant experience in communications, editorial or marketing.
